About us
The Michigan Parkour Association is the First and only Parkour Association in the state!
The mission of The Michigan Parkour Association is simple. To unite all Parkour enthusiasts across the state under one roof. To set the example and standards for professionalism of the movement and to be a resource for enthusiasts providing news, videos, fitness and conditioning, inspiration and a place to network for all.
All the groups listed in our Local Groups section have made the commitment to the movement and association and are officially recognized by the Michigan Parkour Association as groups honoring and following the practices and standards set in place by the association. Looking for a group that trains hard, respects their environment? Find one under our Local Groups Section.
